NON-MECHANICAL FLOW EQUALIZATION The patented design of the Bio -Kinetic system provides non-mechanical flow equalization for the Singulair wastewater treatment plant. Equalization reduces incoming hydraulic surges (e.g. typical shower of 10 minutes duration, bathtub discharge of 5 minutes duration, clothes washer discharge of 2 minutes duration and dishwasher discharge of 2 minutes duration) throughout the system. The flow equalization provided by the Bio -Kinetic system causes wastewater to be held upstream of the final outlet during hydraulic surges, which preserves treatment integrity and enhances system operation. The actual rate of equalization varies and depends upon specific loading patterns and the duration of each flow surge. At the design loading pattern used during the NSF/ANSI Standard 40 performance evaluation, the Singulair system equalizes all flow an average of 50%. As a result, hydraulic surges and periods of high wastewater flow are automatically reduced to protect the environment and all treatment plant processes on a demand use, as needed, basis. BLUE CRYSTAL® RESIDENTIAL DISINFECTING TABLETS If local regulations require, an initial supply of Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets will be placed in the Bio -Kinetic system chlorine feed tube(s) at system start-up. Manufactured from calcium hypochlorite, Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets provide effective, economical bacteria killing power. Liquid entering the Bio -Kinetic system contacts the installed Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets, just downstream of the equalization ports. A fully charged feed tube will last an average of six months. During each semi-annual inspection, your Singulair service provider will check system operation and install tablets as needed. NOTE: USEPA guidelines state "On the average, satisfactory disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can be obtained when the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes contact." Retention time must comply with the controlling regulatory jurisdiction. BIO -NEUTRALIZER° DECHLORINATION TABLETS In environmentally sensitive areas, regulations may require the use of Bio -Neutralizer dechlorination tablets. Manufactured to chemically neutralize both free and combined chlorine, Bio -Neutralizer dechlorination tablets provide consistent reduction or elimination of chlorine residual without unnecessarily reducing the level of dissolved oxygen in the treatment system effluent. As liquid passes through the final discharge zone of the Bio -Kinetic system, the flow contacts the tablets and residual chlorine is removed from the system effluent. A fully charged feed tube will last an average of six months. During each semi-annual inspection, your Singulair service provider will check system operation and install tablets as needed. CAUTION: The improper handling of Blue Crystal and Bio -Neutralizer tablets may cause personal injury or property damage. Keep out of the reach of children and do not allow the tablets or feed tubes to contact skin, eyes, or clothing. Blue Crystal tablets may be fatal if swallowed and tablet dust is irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Do not handle the tablets or feed tubes without first carefully reading the product container label, MSDS information and the handling and storage instructions. Mixing of chemicals may cause a violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. For additional information about Blue Crystal and Bio -Neutralizer tablets contact your Singulair service provider. ACCESS RISERS AND COVERS Concrete access covers are recommended and must be secured after each service visit. A concrete plug should be installed in the access openings of the tank to prevent accidental entry. Access covers should be inspected during service visits and replaced as necessary. If plastic risers and/or covers are utilized, they must be approved for your application and secured as instructed by the manufacturer. Refer to state and local regulations for applicable codes that may apply to your installation. DANGER: Make sure your service provider does not leave access risers uncovered or partially covered. Failure to properly secure access covers could result in bodily injury, illness or death. Do not allow children to play on or around the treatment system. NO OWNER MAINTENANCE The Singulair system is inspected and serviced by a local, factory -trained service provider, therefore, no owner maintenance is required during the warranty period. The Singulair system does not require pumping as often as a septic tank. Under normal use only the pretreatment chamber should be pumped. How often pumping is necessary depends on system use. The local Singulair service provider will inspect the aeration chamber contents and plant effluent at six month intervals to determine if the pretreatment chamber is discharging excessive solids. Every three years, the pretreatment chamber should be inspected. The pretreatment chamber will normally require pumping at three to five year intervals. Contact your local service provider prior to tank pumping for complete information on removal of equipment, access to individual chambers and coordination of services. A tank pumping service licensed by the local regulatory agency must be used for removal and disposal of tank contents. If a period of intermittent use, or an extended period of non-use of the Singulair system is anticipated, contact your Singulair service provider for instructions. Your service provider has comprehensive Singulair service instructions and has been factory -trained in troubleshooting procedures. Contact your service provider if you require service or information regarding tank pumping.
